Should I end it?

I have been dating my boyfriend for a few months now and at first everything was great. We spent a lot of time together going out and doing things and we had a lot of fun. Now when I come up and visit (he lives an hour away from me) he spends some time with me, but spends more time on his computer doing other things. And I feel like he takes me for granted. I am always happy to help him and do things for him but when I ask for his help or for him to do something for me he makes it into such a big ordeal. I really care about him but I am not sure if I care more about him than he does about me or something like that.

The previous poster obviously didnt read the entire post.

Let me give you the real scoop, my fellow Wholigan. I was in a relationship with a girl last year and pretty much the same thing was going on…well except the living an hour away thing. I always did lots of things for her…matter of fact I enjoyed doing things for her and for the longest time it didn’t bother me that things were not reciprocated….but after a couple of months…that little seed of resentment started growing and by the time the relationship was all but over…I had become so angry and bitter and mostly resentful because of it I had actually went and made myself a jaded and miserable person.

I finally got past all that once I got out of the relationship and saw what it was doing to me. Let me tell you being taken for granted is probably one of the worst feelings in the world. But if you are already feeling that you care more for him than he does for you…this feeling is likely only going to get worse unless the two of you can talk it out.

It’s all too obvious you are smart enough to know you deserve to be treated better…so you know the problem, now you need to find a solution…and if he is not willing to give to the relationship at the very least what you are putting into it, then I think we both know what you need to do.

Good Luck!!

How long exactly have you been dating?

I think you should stop trying so hard if its making you feel this way. Relationships don’t just become strong and committed right off the bat. You both have to build that relationship. If you want it to be more serious then it is right now, and he doesn’t, then either end it OR try backing off a bit.

There is no rush. If its a good relationship, it will keep growing and becoming stronger. If you aren’t compatible, it will just fizzle. There is no point in trying to force it.

Basically, stop nagging. Its too early for that.

If you drive an hour to see this boyfriend, and he ignores you while he fiddles on the computer, you need to grab your purse, go out the door and start driving on the road to home.

This guy is definitely taking you for granted. Time to ditch this guy and find someone who’s ready for a SERIOUS relationship.

This guy isn’t.

So what happened? Did you two work your issues out or is that still ‘pending’?? Just curious.
